Bloodmange Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Im working on my army composition. I've got my Rhinos all done, the Land Raider is coming along nicely and I've got 30 Grey Hunters assembled and on Resin Bases with a few having magnetic arms so I chanage them as needed, ie. Power Fists, Frost Wepons, and what not as well as some other stuff. My problem is I need help figuring out my Rune Priests, I'm going somewhat fluffy in that I'm doing Ragnar's Company so I will eventually be making him but I want to represent my Rune Priests as they are in the Ragnar's Claw. William King mentions on page 291 that "...several Rune Priests, long bearded, carrying huge wooden staffs carved with mystical runic symbols." What can I use to represent those staffs? I have Njal and I like the look of his, although I think I will imbelish it some and make it look a bit more ornate. Pictures would help alot too.

Taeken Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If you want a cool lookin staff, why not make your own? Get a few sizes of round polysterine, figure out which size looks best to you and have at it! You could prob make some sweet staves that way with a little bit of carving, some GS if needed, and glue on some bitz if you like. Runes would be easy (assuming you dont know them already) I use this Futhark rune generator http://sunnyway.com/runes/write_in_runes.html I've no idea if its accurate or not. But what the heck heh. Alternatly you could roll up a staff out of GS if you want a more natural look with crooks and bends. Just a couple of ideas for ya. Good luck!

Grey Mage Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I actually used a Reaper minis staff, cut it and placedt he ends on a bolt pistol hand for my guy. And his torso/lets are from a DA Veteran box, the new plastic ones are perfect :lol:.

Good luck! @ Taeken I actually get all my Rune info from http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vikings/runes.html It as a page where you can write your name in Runes but it also works for non-name words. @Mage, there is a LGS near one of my friends' homes maybe I'll look it up and see what they have.
